Firstly a big thank you for your...Dear Ammu Patti,<br /><br />Firstly a big thank you for your write up. We had our son's thread ceremony over the weekend in Kalady, Kerala. I came across your blog few months back . I read ur blogs on sumangali prarthanai, naandi and Poonal. It not only helped me to better understand the rituals and the customs but also the reasoning was clear. I also ensured my husband and son read through the steps before the function. <br /><br />Your blog is now my favourite one to refer , keep up your work of guiding youngsters and more importantly tabulating info which would help many more like me in the long run.

I belong to the Mudaliar community and on the day of Diwali, we offer prayers to god with new clothes, Gingelly oil, Shikakai, Idlis, vadais, diwali sweets and Murukkus before taking bath. Then the oldest male member in the family will then take the blessed oil and apply it on everyones head as a symbolic gesture. We then take oil bath and then pour a little bit of ganga water brought from Kasi on our heads. After bath, we go back to the pooja room where my mother or grandmother will hand over the new clothes after we prostrate before god. So this the only festival where we do pooja before taking a bath!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17983224.post-29075580534418725672008-05-15T19:44:00.000+05:302008-05-15T19:44:00.000+05:30Hi RamyaThanks .
